SUNDAY MEDITATION.

Practical Dates Taught by Study OF the Inter-
national Sunday school Lesson Appointed for
Feb. "a. Gen., 10 1890.
Zone reading these notes should first carefully
study the paragraph from the Holy Scriptures as
indicated abovel H
SUBJECr: The DESTRUCTION OF SoDOM.
The former lesson was the account of Abra-
ham pleading for the preservation of SOdOm.
He secured promise that the region would DO

persons could be found In it. That lesson was
dated 1897 Ii. q. Only an afternoon and night
intervene between the intercession of Abraham
aud the destruction of Sodom. Having parted
from Abraham the Angels passed on to Sodom,
reaching the city gate by evening. 19:1.)
Lot CHANGED TO be sitting at the entry to Sodom
and SO saw the Angels approaching the gate.
We notice he became a resident of the city and
an associate of the wicked inhabitants. The
hospitality shown by Lot was hearty. Since
separating from Abram, Lot has married.
There Is no account of his marriage before leav-
ing Abram. He has two daughters, also mar
ried. Ii Is possible he secured q wife from
among the SOdomites. IL seems he had no
sons and no grandchildren. V. IL implies
but does not prove. he had sons. The families
OF Lot were himself and wife and two daughters,
with their husbands. The wife and daugh-
tiers, TO some degree at least, believed the
angels aud sought refuge, but yet quite reluc-
family. The husbands of the daughters would
listen to no persuasions Of Lot. That was firm

We hear great deal about rival telegraph

companies resort to cripple one another, such
as cutting rates, ETC.. but, according to a

graphers in Japan. Filling the trees along the
lines, these insects spin their webs between
the earth, the wires, the post, the insulatOrs,
and the trees. When these webs become wet
with dew, they constitute a good conductor,
and the lines are found to be in connection
with the earth. The only method of obviating
this Inconvenience is by employing brooms of
bamboo to brush away the webs But, as the
spiders are more active than the workmen en-
ployed in this work, the difficulty is not the
less serious.

Notwithstanding the discouraging
weather quite good audience assembled
at the Methodist church in this city, Tues
day evening, to listen to the lecture by
Mrs NJ. CoOver Davis. Her subject waa
wines of the Bible. Her treatment of
the subject, showed through and hon
est investigation of the scriptures pertain
ing to it. A person who listens to this
lecture will never afterwards say that
wine drinking is sanctioned by the Bible.
We have every cause for believing that
Mrs. Davis is prosecuting this work for
what good she may be able to accomplish
and not for any benefit that might &C
crue to herself.

Many people in the eastern states i'm
agine that our central and western Kan
sas towns are made up of the ''rustler'
and cowboy" element, and that the
morality of our citizens is at . low ebb.
To such we will say that when you visit
us you will find matters just the reverse.
True, years ago, when the saloon was the
first business house q town could boast OF
we had some rowdy element in onr midst.
But since we have bahished these ante
rooms of hell from among us, the roughi
have disappeared, and our towns are now
being made up of the most refined and
greatest church going people in the
United States.

RESERVATION, NORTH SIDE


To fHI KpIroR DoDoD CITY Tn8s:
There seems to be in Kansas = disposi
ton on the part of everybody to suppose
that they have the best farm, located ir
the best part Of the country, and tina,
they have the best neighbors of any body
Well, we are sure that that Is the case
here, and we are impressed that we would
like to be heard from.
The farmers are well along with their
work for the season. The acreage OF
corn planted in this vicinity Is probably
seven hundred per cent greater than last
year. That of wheat and oats is small.
there will be very considerable amount
of sod turned this season if the weather
is ut all favorable. The people are man
ifesting a disposition to improve their
farms as fast as possible. The claim
shanty is consigned to other purposes.
and the farmers wife is made happy by
moving into new, and more substantial
structures.
There has been great many fruit and
ornamental trees planted this spring.
Our people were made sad last week by
the death of little Charlie, the two year
old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Bowers.
The funeral services were conducted at
the home by Rev. Elliott, and the body
of little Charlie was laid away to rest.
This is the second visit of the sad mes
sengcr since the settlement of the reser-
vation, which is now considerable over
two years, and we have the thickest set
tied part of the county. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bowers have the sympathy of the entire
community in their sad bereavement.
This however, serves to remind our peo-
pie that we, and our friends must die,
and as we are here to stay, we are likely
to die here; hence the need of we'll or
dered and well kept cemetery. And there
was meeting held last Saturday after
noon at Mt. Pleasant school house for the
purpose of discussing the matter. At
which board of trustees was chosen,
and q charter ordered, and a committee
appointed to look up locations and re-
port at another meeting to be held at the
same place next Saturday the 18th, at 4
O'Clock, p. m. It is hoped that full at
tendance will be had, grounds selected,
and steps taken for its plating. This is
q matter in which all ought to be inter-
ested, let all attend.
Mr.. Editor, we all recognize the TINES
as being the best paper in the west.
